Cute little dog enamel pin - Gwen the Coton de Tulear charity badge

A very special little dog pin inspired by Gwen, a Coton de Tulear pup and my friend Catrin's support dog. These pins are fundraising for Treasure Chest YGC, a charity supporting breast cancer care at Glan Clwyd Hospital.

The pins are now here and are made of jewellery-quality hard enamel, and very shiny! The pink bow is slightly glittery. They will be carefully presented on a recycled card backing card and presented in a cute little envelope (all plastic free). For every pin sold, £2 will be donated to Treasure Chest YGC.

Here is Catrin's story..

"I found a lump in my left breast mid November 2017. Fast forward to the 18th of January 2018 when I had a bilateral mastectomy as they'd found cancer in both breasts. Two weeks and two days later my mother died of breast cancer. The breast team and later on Treasure Chest helped me so much through this time.

I didn't realise at the time that Treasure Chest raised so much vital funds for those going through breast cancer at Clan Clwyd Hospital.

My puppy/bff/saviour is a Coton de Tulear puppy called Gweneria, Gwen for short. She has helped me and continues to get me through each day."

A little about Treasure Chest YGC, a small and powerful charity:

"Treasure Chest YGC. Our aim is to support and raise funds for patients who have had or are having surgery or treatment for breast cancer in Glan Clwyd hospital, Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire." You can follow Treasure Chest on Instagram @treasure_chest_ygc where weekly raffles for amazing prizes will be held throughout October.
